Founded in 1997, Sanders Pre-Cast offers mechanically-stabilized earth wall systems, three-sided arch bridge structures, box culverts, hollow core walls and sound barriers. With an expansions in 1999, the company has the capacity to pour four million square feet of quality precast each year, serving clients that include multiple Midwest state department of transportations (DOTs) as well as large distribution centers.

The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered Sanders Pre-Cast up to $175,000 in conditional tax credits and $29,000 in training grants based on the company’s job creation plans.
